Photography

The Commencement Committee has arranged to have ZAP Photography at the ceremony to take high quality photographs of graduates receiving their diplomas. NOTE: To preserve the dignity of the ceremony, members of the audience are not allowed to come up to the stage to take pictures. Each graduate will have the opportunity to purchase photo prints.

Photo proofs will be sent to each graduate within seven days after Commencement. There is no obligation to purchase the finished prints. If graduates order photographs, the prints will be delivered within thirty days or the deadline printed on the order card. 5x7 prints are $5.95 each. A 8x10 print in a folder is $11.95. Graduates who do not purchase prints may keep the proof provided at no cost. ZAP Photography is the only photographer authorized by the University to sell photographs to graduates.
